can anybody tell me

[stephenoneill]

the difference between the masterpiuma and the sigma and why you like or hate them seriously thinking of packing in my rubi

The monty cannot be height adjusted to tile thickness correctly IMO as it comes loose after a few cuts and crushes tiles ... The Sigma also adjusts but in a better way and stays set at that height.. Smoother cut and better made..

The montolit has a fancy paint job. It is not as robust as the Sigma. It is a push cutter ( although you can get a push Sigma too)
The wheels are more expensive on the Montolit.
The marker system flips over ( nice feature) on the Montolit. The Sigma marker system is more sturdy IMO.

which Rubi cutter are you currently using ?

Not knocking Daves point, but i've never had any hassle with the height adjustment on my Monto.
As Sir says the abilty to set the gauge and move it out the way is really useful, i find mine accurate and cuts everything.
I used to use Rubi all the time, but after buying a TS60+ and having the wheels wear out and the rails flex i went to Montolit, i'd never go back to the TS range now.
But i've not tried the Sigma or the the Rubi TX ranges.

I've not long ago got a master puma (had enough of my old ts60 )and I like it but think in hind site I should have gone sigma, the pumas ok but a bit heavy handed in the break and can crush tiles I find needs a pair of grips to tighten the looking nut so u can set and forget it and a short sharp tap on the bar
i need a smaller cutter to replace my last remaining rubi so I'll get a sigma next

Rubi for me!

i've had montolit and sigma and tbo, there's not much between them.
both single rail cutters with the same breaking action. both italian. montolit were around before sigma so i suppose sigma have emulated there design but all in all both do a good job..if you put a gun to my head, id say sigma because they are a bit more robust in certain areas ie the support bar, the breaker and the fact you can remove the measuring bar when in transit makes it more compact.

Although use Rubi I have two of these Superior cutters made in the USA have had them since 1975 and still going strong this model cuts up to 250mm, to get a new one with shipping tax it works out about the same price as the small Sigma so would rather get the latter.
